If you’re using Stripe for your SaaS product and if you have a usage based component in your pricing - this is for you.

Aggregating usage data into a digestible format for Stripe is a monthly chore no one likes to do.

- The computations are complex and ripe for errors - It’s repeated manual grunt work - having to aggregate and calculate usage for every customer every month - You’re restricted to the pricing models that your billing systems allows you to have

This is what we solved with metering.ai.

With metering.ai as a free add-on to your existing billing system, you can meter your product’s usage without any engineering effort.

This is how it works: 1. Upload your usage data as a .csv file 2. Connect to your Stripe account 3. Enter your aggregation formula And voila - aggregated usage data for every customer is sent to Stripe and ready to be invoiced.

No more manual work. And no more billing errors.

Can I upload a .csv from mixpanel?

Yes, if your mixpanel event contains your user's stripe customer id then definitely yes. Its possible to use metering.ai to calculate the aggregated usage from the CSV exported with mixpanel and publish that aggregated usage data in Stripe.
